Hello and a warm welcome to the Change Agency

The Change Agency offers early years consultancy provided by Gillian Kitchen. We provide support, training, coaching and mentoring to childcare settings to help you improve your provision. It’s not just about preparation for Ofsted inspection. It’s about providing the best possible provision for the children and families you work with. However, preparation for your early years inspection is a key factor in becoming a successful nursery. What will happen at your nursery when Ofsted comes calling next time?

An Inspector Calls

An Ofsted early years inspector arrives at your setting the manager is on holiday and the deputy is not available. A member of staff opens the door to the inspector and …..

The member of staff goes pale and wants to run away and hide.

The member of staff says “Welcome to our nursery we’re ready for you. We’ve been waiting for you to come”.

Which one of these scenarios is your setting?

The Change Agency can help you to make sure that you take early years inspection in your stride and achieve the best outcome.

Comments from Gillians Clients

After working with Gillian from The Change Agency we made rapid progress. Gillian carried out a mock inspection and gave us lots of support to make the changes we wanted to make.

Our managers found Gillian very professional, very knowledgeable, the experience has been a positive one as it has been someone outside of the company giving their point of view of their nursery

I would definitely recommend choosing Gillian to help steer you in a much better direction

“We are a new nursery and have only been operating for a few months. Gillian from the Change Agency came to the nursery and carried out a mock inspection which really helped us to understand the process of an Ofsted early years inspection."
